Cambridge Pavers Driveway & Pavers: The Woodland Hills Owner’s Guide
Cambridge Pavers driveway and paver repair in Woodland Hills typically runs $700 to $3,200 for spot repairs and $7,000 to $18,000 for a full paver driveway replacement, depending on square footage, base condition, and whether you’re matching existing pavers or starting fresh. We stock Cambridge-compatible pavers and match them to your existing layout, usually within a few days of your call. Most Woodland Hills homeowners discover a problem the same way: a paver shifts underfoot, water pools where it used to drain, or a section sinks after winter rains and leaves a trip hazard right where the kids run to the car.
We’re Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills, an independent contractor. We’re not affiliated with Cambridge Pavers directly, but we know their product line well and source genuine Cambridge pavers plus compatible edge restraints, base material, and polymeric sand for repairs that blend with your existing driveway.
Which Cambridge Pavers Models This Applies To
Cambridge Pavers manufactures a wide range of concrete paver lines, and Woodland Hills driveways tend to use a handful of them. The most common we see on site are the Ledgestone series (irregular edges, a textured, natural-stone look), the Maytrx line (cleaner, modular shapes with tighter joints), and the RoundTable collection (larger-format patterns popular for patios and driveways in the hills). If you have the original paperwork, the paver name and color code are printed on it. If you don’t, measure a single paver: Ledgestone runs roughly 6″ x 9″ or 6″ x 6″ depending on the pattern, Maytrx blocks are typically 4″ x 8″ in a three-size mix, and RoundTable pavers come in 12″ x 12″ and 12″ x 18″ modules.
The OEM versus aftermarket decision matters here. Genuine Cambridge pavers come out of the same production runs, so color variation stays minimal. Aftermarket lookalikes are cheaper up front, but concrete mixes and pigments differ, and a patch of slightly-off pavers is the first thing you’ll notice every time you pull into the driveway. For color-matched repairs, we order directly from Cambridge distributors. For full replacements, we quote both and let you see the difference in writing.
One compatibility gotcha: Cambridge color blends like Onyx Natural or Harvest Gold shift between production years because the aggregates change. If you’re patching a five-year-old driveway, we’ll want a sample paver from an inconspicuous area to match against the current lot before ordering. That step alone has saved our clients from visible patchwork more times than we can count.

Signs Your Cambridge Pavers Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Paver shifting or rocking underfoot. The sand jointing between pavers has washed out or the base beneath has eroded. You’ll hear a click or feel the paver tilt when you step on it. If ignored, edges chip and the pavers crack.
- Low spots that hold water after rain. This is usually base failure, not paver failure. Woodland Hills sits on a mix of clay and decomposed granite, and clay expands when wet. Without a proper compacted base, sections sink unevenly.
- Weeds or grass pushing up between joints. Polymeric sand has broken down or was never installed properly. In California’s dry-wet cycle, joints crack open, seeds blow in, and roots push pavers apart.
- Edge pavers separating from the driveway boundary. The edge restraint has failed or was never installed. Once the edge goes, the entire field of pavers starts migrating outward under vehicle weight.
- Faded color with pitting or spalling on the paver surface. Sun and heat exposure in Woodland Hills breaks down the paver’s surface sealer over time. Once the protective layer is gone, water gets in, and freeze-thaw cycles (yes, even here in the hills, we get frost on cold winter mornings) cause surface flaking.

DIY or Call Us?
Replacing one or two cracked pavers is something a handy homeowner can do if the base underneath is solid. You’ll need a matching paver, a rubber mallet, and a bag of polymeric sand. What you should not do is pull up a sunken section and try to rebuild the base yourself. The base is the whole job. We’ve re-done dozens of Woodland Hills driveways where someone added a bag of sand on top of a failed base, and the pavers settled again in three months.
The danger here isn’t like a garage spring that can take your hand off. Pavers are heavy, and moving 50 or 60 of them is back work, but the real risk is doing it wrong and paying twice. If the pavers are shifting, sinking, or separating at the edges, call us at (341) 217-2776 and we’ll come take a look. The estimate is free.
FAQs
With a properly compacted base and maintained joints, Cambridge Pavers driveways in Woodland Hills last 25 to 40 years. The pavers themselves rarely fail; the base and jointing system fail first. Our California heat and seasonal rains break down polymeric sand faster than in other climates, so expect to refresh joints every 4 to 6 years. Call (341) 217-2776 and we’ll inspect your joints and tell you what’s needed.
Yes, individual paver repair is standard practice for us in Woodland Hills. We can pull and replace cracked or chipped pavers, match the color from the current Cambridge production lot, and reset the area with fresh base and sand in a single visit for most jobs. If your base is solid, spot repair is all you need. Call (341) 217-2776 for a written quote.
A spot repair of up to 50 pavers takes one day. Section repairs take one to two days.
